The document discusses improving key performance metrics for a debt collection team, including SIM score, cash collection, and call statistics. It provides data on current debt amounts and cash collection targets. It also outlines plans for the new team coach to provide training, conduct call monitoring, implement proactive calling initiatives, and use visual tools to motivate competition among agents. The coach's goals are to increase performance and reduce bad debt through focused coaching.

Debt Collection Team Coach
2. Debt case study
As part of my presentation I have listened to 18 calls from 2 separate agents. I have used
the call critique form to score the calls. Is there any part of the call that as a team coach I
could offer my experience to help improve the SIM Score or targets.
I have also listened to 2 calls that were marked as a 1 on the rant and rave. This is to see if
there were any ways of improving the scores, therefore improving the advisors SIM
scores.
As team coach I would work with the advisors to be more proactive. I would like to have
Call out days. Proactively contacting the customers that have promise to pays that are due
or lapsed, that have tallyman plans that have ended and not been in contact.
The debt team are active in working on outstanding correspondence codes which is great
for driving down delays . But there time could be much better spent driving down
company debt.
The company currently has £229,140,377 outstanding.
House hold Debt total £70,343,230.
Currently as a company we are on target for cash collection.
As debt team coach I feel that I would have a duty of care to our customers to provide
them with the best payment options available.
Asking questions on every call that comes through, or that we make. Are they eligible for
lift ,watersure & thames trust. Is it DD standing order payment card that the customer
needs, Can you make a payment today no matter how much it is? These are all things
that will drive down bad debt as well as increase cash collection.
3. Debt rant and rave improvement
3331675- Mrs Newbolt advised that the account is going to
Harrington Brooks. Customer advised out of work. Not receiving
benefits. What is the new Salary for the new job? Could lift be
offered?
What I found.
If lift was applicable we could reduce 2015 bill by £94,11, the bill
would be £257,68. Monthly instalments would be £25,76.This is
£5,76 more than customer paying on monthly instalments at the
moment. The customer wanted the old account to be looked after by
Harrington Brooks only.
I spoke with Katy Overhead as a SIM improvement idea would we
be able to treat the account similar to bankrupt account ? Close the
account & open as fresh account & reference the accounts together.
The customer would have been happier with this. As Harrington
Brooks will only clear old Debt. May even pay the extra money as we
have helped her get the account sorted as needed.
4. Debt rant and rave improvement
4361101-Mr J Mcnally customer came through has received a text
message about non payment, The customer said you have my
number why didn’t you call me! We were unable to give the
customer an answer to this question. And then went on to tell the
customer that the payment plan has defaulted and the plan has been
canx. Three instalments have come in late. And then the customer
has caught up. Call then cut off whilst agent discussing what
happened tried to call back went to voice mail.
What I Found If as a debt department we were more proactive with
the lapsing debt accounts this call may have been avoided, and the
customer wouldn’t have called us and given us a bad SIM score. We
would have been able to have a friendly conversation with the
customer and It may have been possible to get the customer to make
a payment over the phone or set a plan up for a more convenient
day and amount.
5. Proactive Calling Current Quarter
01/07/2015 09/09/2015
Proactively calling our HH debt customers will help cash
collection, reduce Bad Debt for the company and
Improve our duty of care to the customer.
By scheduling a 1 or 2 hours outbound session once or
twice a week on the quieter days such as Wednesday.
For example: Calling domestic measured promise to pay
customers that haven't made payment. We currently
have 19 domestic measured (broken) total £2871,00.
369 that have Expired total £113,968.
Unmeasured promise to pay (broken) 7 £1342,00
Expired there are 233 £67,547.
6. Monthly Cash
Collection Targets
• Have a large image could be a jar,
cylinder or arrow. Let the team
choose get them involved .
• Divide into the monthly target
Septembers is £150.491.000 if
target is achieved for August.
Divide into four segments £26.565
per week.
• Maybe use coins with £1000 to
indicate how much has been
collected each week/day/month
this may get the team focussed and
competitive with each other.

10. My First Steps
As a non Debt advisor I would like to Sit with all
members of the Debt team for 30 minutes listen to their
calls with them. Get feedback on what they would like to
improve, How they feel, What they would like as an
incentive.
I would like for the advisors to listen in on my calls to see
if there is something that I do that they would like to
introduce into there calls.
I would like to see what refresher training or extra
training they might want or need.
And show that as a team coach I will endeavour to be
Firm, Flexible and Fair.
